Welcome to 9amtalk.net!

The 9 A.M. Talk Net meets on ham radio weekdays at 9:00 A.M. Pacific Time in the San Francisco Bay Area on the N6NFI/R (-145.230 MHz, 100Hz PL). We are not affiliated with any club, do not have a set topic, and especially encourage new hams to check-in and ask questions. This web site was designed to supplement the 9 A.M. Talk Net by providing additional information and resources to net participants.

25 YEARS AND GOING STRONG! The 9 A.M. Talk Net started during the 1980's when Arv, WA6UUT,
and friends met at 10:00 A.M. to help new hams. The tradition continues! Click on the Talk Net Basics link on the left to find out more about how the net works, net control operators (past and present) and our history.

Experimental EchoLink station...

Tue, 07/06/2010 - 08:33 — N6WN - Dan

Hi All,
K6OJ has offered to provide another Echolink station. We are currently experimenting with it. It is possible that eventually the preferred order of stations will become K6OJ-R, KR6DD-R, and N6WN-R.

There are some advantages to the K6OJ station as it is a single purpose station (the computer is not being used for other things and the radio is not being used for other things), so the facility should be more predictable than either KR6DD's or N6WN's Echolink stations.

If the K6OJ Echolink moves past the experimental stage, current plans are that it will be enabled for special events (such as the 9amtalk net) or when particular authorized parties decide to enable it.
Thus, the impact of Echolink on N6NFI would be consistent with the impact of the existing Echolink stations.

9AM net unleashed on Friday!

Fri, 03/26/2010 - 14:26 — K6WX

Come and unwind on Fridays where there is no arbitrary speech code. Just follow the FCC rules and be civil (no ad hominem). Truly talk about anything from physics to philosophy. You can smell the freedom in the air (and on the air). Hosted weekly by your humble net control, K6WX.

Subject restriction on my Monday nets

Tue, 03/16/2010 - 22:08 — N6WN - Dan

No politics or religion discussions for my nets.

If you want to start or participate in those discussions, either do so after the net, or pick some day where the NCO does not have such a restriction.
